Samuel Little Part 1

About this episode

In October 2019, the FBI confirmed that Samuel Little was the most prolific serial killer in US history. He was an extremely brutal man who only cared about his own gratification and gave no thought to the feelings or well-being of those around him. He was in and out of penal institutions of one type or another most of his life but never served very long during any one stretch. It took advancements in DNA many years after the fact to put him away for three murders he committed in California.

Join Mike and Gibby for the 300th episode of True Crime All The Time, where we discuss Samuel Little. In part one of the Samuel Little episodes, we’ll cover his early life and lengthy criminal record. Samuel Little spent his days committing petty crimes and his nights hunting for vulnerable victims. It was after his conviction for the three murders in California that the true scope of his depravity came to light.
